SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Sherwood Botsford Did not finish first segment. In terms of plot it's a jigsaw puzzle. A piece here, a piece there.Filled with hidden menace and foreshadowing. But also long stills of not much happening. Background sound enough to make conversation hard to hear. Music atonal. Lighting low contrast, and low level. There is not a sharp edged shadow in the entire show. If designed to give the impression of dirt, and sordidness it was successful. Camera height is consistently at chest level. This adds to menace, but it all seems so pointless. Yawn.

beep-58514 Disappointing. No real plot twists until the end and even the end doesn't make sense. Lots of zig-zagging with background details throughout the four episodes but details like the laptop with the "help desk" information and the death of Gina's lawyer parents don't get connected in the end to vindicate Harry with the authorities. Lots of points are lost for instance: the cell phone with the text message about "Cogburn". If Gina's phone was traced and Styles was directed to trace the cell phone that sent the text message, why was Gina's phone the only one they showed being discarded so they wouldn't be located. Granted, Harry's brother called and said get rid of Gina's phone. But, Styles still had been directed to locate the other phone.

blanche-2 "Hidden" is a four-part British thriller starring Philip Glenister and Thekla Reuten.The story is wild, one of those government corruption tales. Government corruption is feasible, and in real life there were riots in Britain and resignations of officials. But there were other elements of this plot that put it on the fanciful side.Glenister is Harry Ven, a solicitor, is asked by attorney Gina Hawkes (Reuten) to find a alibi witness for her client. This witness also has information about Ven's late brother Mark 20 years earlier.The plot takes off from there into a political conspiracy. This includes a plan to take over the government by a billionaire. He has an assassination bureau that gets rid of anyone in their way.David Suchet plays Sir Nigel Fountain, a relative of Hawkes', and he's amazing. At first I didn't recognize him.The end is a downer because it really doesn't end. There's ambiguous and there's nothing - this was nothing.The acting was good, with Philip Glenister attractive in a disheveled kind of way and totally believable.Okay.

Tweekums Having recently enjoyed one fairly convoluted but excellent thriller in the BBC; Namely 'The Shadow Line' I thought I'd give this one ago too. As things stared I was quickly drawn into the story; Solicitor Harry Venn is approached by a lawyer, Gina Hawkes, claiming to represent a man who has information about his brother and another man, Harry is understandably curious as his brother died twenty years previously! Flashback show that Harry wasn't always on the right side of the law. He had once been the driver for an apparent armed robbery where the householder was killed along with two policemen. Intertwined with Harry's story we see that things aren't going well in the country; there are riots in the capital, the government is on the brink of collapse and there are allegations that the Prime Minister has been involved in some sort of financial irregularity. Of course as this is a thriller the two events aren't entirely unconnected. Over the course of the series Harry and Gina must try to find out what is going on and stop the villains from achieving their ultimate goal without being killed.For the most part I really enjoyed this series; Philip 'Gene Hunt' Glenister and Thekla Reuten where great as Harry and Gina and the rest of the often well known cast did well in their roles… the problem however was the ending; far too much was left unexplained; we learn that various people were killed twenty years before and others we thought were dead aren't but there is no explanation about why; maybe I missed something but twenty years seems an awfully long time to plan a coup! Still there was enough good stuff before the end to mean I didn't regret watching it.
